Full spectrum, broad spectrum, isolate: the Bollywood explanation
Three words on every cannabis label, explained using the only framework India fully understands: a Bollywood film.

You will see three terms on cannabis products: full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate. They sound like physics. They are actually just a cast list.
Full spectrum: the whole film
Hero, heroine, comedian, villain, the mother with the aarti thaali, even the guy who shouts "Bhaago!" in the background. Full spectrum means the extract keeps the plant's wide range of natural compounds, including cannabinoids and terpenes, instead of pulling out just one. Our gummies, oil and tablets use full spectrum Vijaya leaf extract.
Broad spectrum: the film minus one character
Same film, but one particular character has been edited out, usually THC. Everything else stays.
Isolate: the solo song
Just one compound, usually CBD, on its own. Clean and simple, like a single song released without the film.
Which is better?
None of them is "better" in general. They are different products for different needs, and in India the legal Ayurvedic route is leaf-based medicine on prescription. Whatever you take, the label should tell you the strength clearly, and the batch should come with a COA.
